SETTE MAGAZINE EN VOGUE IL MASCHIO NON E’ PRONTO PER L’EXTRALARGE

This week’s picture is taken from an old editorial inspired by Serge Gainsbourg, the bad boy of french pop. They say he was an arrogant and violent men and that he lived a wild lifestyle. He has been labelled  “beautiful and damned”  although that definition does not fit him that much.. not very handsome, perhaps damned.  Anyway his shabby style, not to say almost dirty-looking, it’s still somehow quite attractive. Often shady and eccentric men have been put on a pedestal and considered icons, even if Gainsbourg could hardly be called an artists or an uncommon person, his style it’s being re-proposed to represent a certain nonchalant fashion.  Tom Ford In 2002 , during his time as creative director for Gucci, designed a collection feauturing extremely comfortable silhouettes made from soft and fluid materials like jersey and cloth fabric. The reviews were enthusiastic and stylists have been fighting each other in order to get pictures of the sample collection.However the expected results did not materialize as the end consumers weren’t “ready”. I have been writing about how oversized fashion it’s being randomly re-proposed and about how it still can’t find its way to the public’s heart, for now. I personally love it, but must admit that it’s hard to reset yourself so drastically. Photo by Babic from “Uomo” 2002. Clothing by Gucci.

SETTE MAGAZINE EN VOGUE TENDENZA SENZA IRONIA UGUALE FARSA

In the past 2 years fashion made great progess. This is, in part, because of the success obtained by talented new designers (which are helping the best established designers pushing the boundaries of creative inspiration) and is in part because now is clear that menswear doesn’t have a subordinate role in fashion and that it’s not just a complement. Since 2010 the standardization of fashion has been disappearing and new trends have been bringing up our desire to dress to impress, others and ouselves, which is a pleasure based on pure self-expression and individuality. However there are always ecceptions, like certain annoying fashion excesses. If before it was almost a “shame” admitting to be a fashion follower , nowadays during fashion week journalists, fashion bloggers and so on have been fighting eachother in a battle of ridiculous looks in the hope of being fotographed by Scott Shuman or, at least by any of his imitators. Such parade, if played without any irony or taste, could call into question the value of the brand’s fashion creations themselves. All of this, which at first seemed funny, today feels like a farce taking credit off the system and degrading the fashion industry. Picture by Davide Cernuschi from Harper’s Bazaar Uomo, 1996.
